Hiking at Pickett Post

Back in February we took a day trip to a few places.  The first place we went to I didn't get any pictures of, but it is an amazing cemetery near Florence.  There is a little ghost town named Adamsville.  The cemetry there is so old!  The gravestones date back to the Civil War era.  We may be a weird family, but we love walking around cemeteries.  There are so many untold stories that it fasinates us.  And there is always such a peaceful feeling there.  Anyway, this cemetry is not maintained by anyone, with one exception.  There was a lady there that comes down and works for 4 to 6 hours a day cleaning and trimming trees and putting flowers on the gravestones.  We were able to talk with her and she said she has been doing this for about a year!  What a sweet, giving lady! 

After the Adamsville cemetry, we drove to Pickett Post, just outside of Superior and went on a hike and had a campfire.  We had such a fun day, and just about wore ourselves out!  Here are a few pictures of the hike...
